Lesson Using Conventions in

1 Citing Sources

Let’s Elaborate

Intellectual Property (IP) is anything created by the human mind that

the law protects from unauthorized use by others. It includes but is not
limited to written works (such as books and articles), ideas, discoveries,
inventions, arts and designs.
In academic writing, we draw information from different sources. It is
therefore important to tell the readers where the sources came from and
acknowledge the first hand authors of that information. This is called
Citation.
Citation is a written reference to a specific work, like a book, an article or a
report by specific authors or editors. It clearly identifies the source of the work.

3
Citation is done for the following reasons:

a) to give credit to the authors

b) to establish writer’s credibility
c) to help readers find the information; and
d) to avoid Plagiarism.

PLAGIARISM refers to the presentation of the words or ideas of another

author (it could also be a text writer or another student) as your own. This is
not acceptable practice.
The two most commonly used STYLES in citing sources are the APA
(American Psychological Association) and the MLA (Modern Language
Association). Each style has its own rules and formats for citing sources, but
they usually include two main components:
✓ A brief in-text citation containing the author’s last name, and
sometimes the year and/or page number
✓ A full reference containing all the information to find the original source

How do we do a citation APA Style?

A. In- text Citation

➢ a reference made within the body of the text

➢ gives the appropriate details about the source of information
➢ enclosed in parentheses ( ) at the end of the sentence
➢ applies only to the sentence it is a part of
➢ FORMAT:

Author’s Last Name + Year of Publication + page (if

applicable)

Example: (Dela Cruz, 2020)

➢ When a work has no identified author, cite in text the first few
words of the article title using double quotation marks,
“headline-style” capitalization, and the year.
Example: (“How to Stay Positive During ECQ,” 2020)

Note that there are two ways to use a source: quote from it or rephrase it in your
own words
Example:
➢ Quoted: “Heavy social media use can be linked to depression
and other mental disorders in teens”. (Asmelash, 2019)
➢ Rephrased: According to Asmelash (2019), depression and
other mental disorders can arise from too much use of social
media by teenagers.
